System-wide fetchmailrc
I set up a system-wide fetchmailrc recently to grab mail for both my gf
and myself. It worked fine for a while, automatically receiving mail
whenever we connected (PPP) and every 450 seconds as I specified.
Then it just stopped. The process is still running:
hawk3:~$ ps ax | grep fetchmail
29365 ? S 0:00 fetchmail --daemon 450 --syslog -f
/etc/fetchmailrc -i /var/mail/.fetchmail-UIDL-cache
21157 ttyp1 S 0:00 grep fetchmail
The last couple days in /var/log/mail.log (I don't know if that's the
best place to look, that was just the best thing I could find while
snooping around) are basically multiple lines of:
Jul 13 21:56:10 hurricane fetchmail[29365]: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
So, any idea what's going on? The configuration is exactly the same as
it was when it worked just fine; I'm using sid, but I don't recall
getting a new fetchmail version recently.
